Cicero (Marcus Tullius 106 43 BCE) Roman advocate orator politician poet & philosopher about whom we know more than we do of any other Roman lived through the stirring era that saw the rise dictatorship & death of Julius Caesar in a tottering republic. In Ciceros political speeches & in his correspondence we see the excitement tension & intrigue of politics & the part he played in the turmoil of the time. Of about 106 speeches 58 survive (a few incompletely) 29 of which are addressed to the Roman people or Senate the rest to jurors. In the fourteenth century Petrarch & other Italian humanists discovered manuscripts containing more than 900 letters of which more than 800 were written by Cicero & nearly 100 by others to him. This correspondence affords a revelation of the man all the more striking because most of the letters were not intended for publication. Six works on rhetorical subjects survive intact & another in fragments. Seven major philosophical works are extant in part or in whole & there are a number of shorter compositions either preserved or known by title or fragments. Of his poetry some is original some translated from the Greek. The Loeb Classical Library" edition of " Cicero" is in twenty-nine volumes." ...

This fascinating book charts the relationship between Mark Rowlands a rootless philosopher & Brenin his extraordinarily well-travelled wolf. More than just an exotic pet Brenin exerted an immense influence on Rowlands as both a person & strangely enough as a philosopher leading him to re-evaluate his attitude to love happiness nature & death. By turns funny (what do you do when your wolf eats your air-conditioning unit?) & poignant this life-affirming book will make you reappraise what it means to be human. ...

This is a major wide-ranging history of analytic philosophy since 1900 told by one of the tradition's leading contemporary figures. The first volume takes the story from 1900 to mid-century. The second brings the history up to date. As Scott Soames tells it the story of analytic philosophy is one of great but uneven progress with leading thinkers making important advances toward solving the tradition's core problems. Though no broad philosophical position ever achieved lasting dominance Soames argues that two methodological developments have over time remade the philosophical landscape. These are: analytic philosophers' hard-won success in understanding & distinguishing the notions of logical truth a priori truth & necessary truth & gradual acceptance of the idea that philosophical speculation must be grounded in sound prephilosophical thought. Though Soames views this history in a positive light he also illustrates the difficulties false starts & disappointments endured along the way. As he engages with the work of his predecessors & contemporaries
- from Bertrand Russell & Ludwig Wittgenstein to Donald Davidson & Saul Kripke
- he seeks to highlight their accomplishments while also pinpointing their shortcomings especially where their perspectives were limited by an incomplete grasp of matters that have now become clear. Soames himself has been at the center of some of the tradition's most important debates & throughout writes with exceptional ease about its often complex ideas. His gift for clear exposition makes the history as accessible to advanced undergraduates as it will be important to scholars. Despite its centrality to philosophy in the English-speaking world the analytic tradition in philosophy has had very few synthetic histories. This will be the benchmark against which all future accounts will be measured.
